My daughter is 16 days old and loves sleeping on my chest so much to the point when in try to put her in her bassinet, she wakes right up. I know it's because when I get up with her at night, I'm so exhausted that while burping her, we will both fall asleep. Yes I know it's dangerous to co-sleep like this when shes this young and small. Most of the time, I really dont mean to fall asleep holding her but I'm just so exhausted that I do... Then when I wake up and am uncomfortable and want to lay on my side, I lay her down and as said, she wakes right up either ready to eat or she'll go back to sleep in my arms/on my chest.

So I guess my questions really are: how can I keep myself awake while taking care of her so I quit letting her fall asleep on my chest and how can I get her to be comfortable sleeping alone again?
